One-sided story or was it true? Fixed?

Who knows - the Pentagon has not yet published anything that answers your questions. We will find out in due time.

Yeah, it would be more timely if he supported the 1865 project, or the 1942 project, or the 1959 project, or the 1972 project, any and all of which would document more recent examples of how racism was (and still is) entrenched in our society.

Because I could argue that I there are people that oppose it that have been affected by that position. But I’d rather just stay out of this. :)

Tell us more about the projects of 1865, 1942, 1959, and 1972, please.

Why? Is there a program of some sort that identifies everyone in the ranks that opposes crt?
 
The discussion is going off-track...What is the current situation in WP and other SAs wrt to what's been claimed in the letter? Is the recent exam cheating scandal a result of such? i.e. there are not substantial changes to address the issues? How does current cadets feel about the environment? fulfilling what they originally expected or rather being disappointed? Hope WP publishes something I'd call "Points" ---- a measure and survey of the cadets satisfactory.

Do you believe everything written in this letter?
 
@Soldiergriz ,

Consider this post a 👍 for every one of your posts in this thread.

I too will keep looking out for that "program". I'm sure Pete Hegseth will be right on top of it.
 
This doesn't have to do with CRT, and I don't want to get caught up in that conversation because it seems cyclical and unsubstantial.

However, what I would like to bring up is the seemingly common dislike for Westpoint cadets/grads among ROTC and NCOs. Is it just a fun rivalry or is there merit? And is it just me? For a lot of people that I have spoken with throughout my own admissions journey they have strongly disliked Westpoint cadets. A lot of the reasons they have brought up all seems to revolve around arrogance and lack of humility, which is a point this LTC makes--- the arrogance of Cadets.
 
The article honestly makes me rethink my decision to apply to WP. Incredibly depressing; I grew up believing that the Academy was "the best of the best" and was where magnanimous leaders were formed and learned. Now, I don't know what to think. Do I want to attend a college that lies to the nation about its standards?

I have served in our Army for 29 years. I have never witnessed what you describe above. It is simply not true in my experience. WP Cadets lead and compete for advancement just like everyone else. Many of them are exceptional...some are not.

I am a product of ROTC.

Don't believe everything you hear..

A retired LTC who writes a letter and you rethink your desire to attend? Really?

Do some more research...

Did the author command a Brigade? A Battalion? No, he did not..

A Trump appointee serving on West Point's advisory board has repeatedly spread a conspiracy that the Biden administration is bringing in non-White immigrants as part of a "grand plan" to have them outnumber White Americans of European ancestry in the United States.
